Please consider more robust citations

On Kanye West, you placed a bare URL as a footnote. Instead, I recommend using citation templates if you are using <ref>...</ref> within Wiki markup code & by adding a new reference if you are using VisualEditor. Peaceray (talk) 18:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Kanye West does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 19:49, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Moors murders, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 21:37, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to 2016–17 Chelsea F.C. season. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Qed237 (talk) 00:03, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Deleting sourced content

You should explain, using a WP:Edit summary, why you are deleting content, especially content that is reliably sourced. You cannot simply go around deleting content on Wikipedia because you don't like it. And per WP:BLP, sources for articles on living people need to be up to a certain standard. Read WP:BLP. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

TMZ, for example, is a poor choice to use for WP:BLP articles. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Your attention needed at WP:CHU

Hello. A renamer or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 22:21, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of awards and nominations received by Kanye West, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Drake (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nomination of 2015 Footwear News Achievement Awards for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2015 Footwear News Achievement Awards is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 Footwear News Achievement Awards until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Chetsford (talk) 00:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of awards and nominations received by Kanye West, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Estelle, Flashing Lights and Cruel Summer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Ballon d'Or infoboxes

Please stop adding unnecessary infoboxes to those pages. The box contains no useful info, and since there is a navbox at the bottom of each page to help readers get from one Ballon d'Or to another, the boxes you are adding serve zero purpose whatsoever. Furthermore, I would remind you that "what about X?" is not a valid argument to use here. Just because something exists in some other location doesn't mean it should here. – PeeJay 14:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

If the ones from pre-2000 have infoboxes, I will have to remove those too. The box is totally redundant as a navigational tool. Infoboxes are meant to summarise the content of the article at a glance, which is not the purpose you're using them for. Thanks for letting me know about the pre-2000 ones. I'll credit you in the edit summary. – PeeJay 14:41, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
